    Saw this concept for the first time at Craft & Hobby Association Convention this winter (2012) Really love the idea. My special love is crafting with Kids or special needs groups. I would love to start swap groups for these groups that I work with.

    Love your site! I'm an art teacher and do an artist trading card project with my students, and the love it. I visual journal a lot, which I think is similar to the collage style of trading cards. I would love it if you checked out my lens or my website! www.lookbetweenthelines.com. Thanks for sharing, I'm going to pull up this site next time I teach this lesson!

    I love the variety of artwork here. What really got my attention was the ATC, I do them but never seen them in that form before. Very impressive.

    Excellent lens - what a great idea. Why should athletes be the only ones with Trading Cards? I want this to catch-on.

    1 SquidLike for you my friend!

    Love ATC and charm swaps. It's a great way to allow others to stretch your imagination about what can be done with a concept or theme. Thanks so much for putting this lens together!

    Thanks for featuring my Mayan Sun card the other day :) Cool lens that you have, you've got a lot of info for the person who is new to ATCs. I recommend the website that I am on www.ATCsforALL.com if someone hasn't mentioned it already. It's a great site, and very addicting too ;)

    Wow great lens. Since finding ACEo's recently and then stumbling over atc's I have become addicted to the size format. I tried to do a similar lens for aceo's but it has been left to fend for itself recently. Thanks for the work you have done here and for one or two ideas for my own art work.John

    Thanks for showing my card... :) In fact, this doorway is the one of my own apartment in Quebec City... :)))
